Anyone have any Nosler factory ammo in 280AI? Im ordering a barrel and I need a neck measurement. I want to order it as tight as possible without having to turn them.
Thanks!!

You bring up a very valid point!
My 280 AI has a very tight chamber and it is very picky with brass manufactures. So NEW brass won't fit, I can't close the bolt on it!

Nothing wrong with R-P brass.JD338":32pha3su said:Yes, Nosler and Win brass wont chamber, Remington brass is fine. The sticking point is the web area of the brass, not the neck. A small bade die might fix the problem but they don't exist for 280 AI so I would have to have a custom die from Redding and it will cost about $150.
The Nosler brass is in spec, nothing wrong with it. The chamber was cut off R-P brass long before Nosler got into offering brass. I have discussed this with my gunsmith and he will open up the chamber to accommodate Nosler and Winchester brass but it shoots so well I hate to mess with it. I am just using R-P brass and I am a happy camper.

If velocity is the primary concern, why not just get a Rem. 7mm mag and load it down to 280 A.I. velocities? They cost less to start with.
I hear the 7mm Rem. mag is "minute of most game animal" accurate. What is the draw of the 280 AI?
Just Asking cause I don't know.
